An overview of the field of Art Therapy, a 20th century profession with
its roots in ancient times and in creating in order to cope with pain.
With images of clinicians from all over the world serving a wide variety
of people, the film shows: the history and development of art therapy,
what art therapists do to help people to create and reflect, the major
theoretical approaches, the expansion of the discipline, and some of the
reasons art therapy has grown so rapidly. Through viewing those directly
involved in the process, the viewer will see how and why art therapy is
so very powerful.

This video tells stories of how some older Americans stay vital through
creating, and how some others were helped through art. It demonstrates
the many ways in which art therapy can enrich and give meaning to the
later years; and can affirm the wisdom and self-awareness that comes to
those who have lived a full life, and have developed the capacity to
manage a multitude of challenges. Art therapy can also help older adults
cope with the inevitable psychological problems that accompany aging,
especially when illness and disability have taken their toll.
"I recommend this work to [all] who participate in the treatment of
older adults"
